Planar CarbonLight CLI1.9-F vs Unilumin UpanelS MP 1.9

1.9 mm against 1.906 mm · specifications from both manufacturers' datasheets

This page puts the two sheets side by side, then builds the same wall from each tile, so the comparison is in panels, kilograms, circuits and data runs.

Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile: 8.00 × 4.50 m and 7.93 × 4.46 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Unilumin UpanelS MP 1.9 resolves finer: 275,267 pixels per square metre against 262,144 for Planar CarbonLight CLI1.9-F, 5% more. On a 8 m wide wall that is 4,160 px across versus 4,096 px.
Planar CarbonLight CLI1.9-F is the lighter rig: 17 kg/m² against 32 kg/m². Across this wall that is 495 kg of difference, 819 kg versus 1,314 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
Planar CarbonLight CLI1.9-F draws more: 1200 W/m² against 597 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 43.2 kW versus 21.1 kW, and 16 versus 13 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on Unilumin UpanelS MP 1.9: 26 runs against 32, at 7 and 9 panels per port respectively (60 Hz, 8-bit, ports loaded to 80%). Fewer runs means fewer home runs to pull and fewer processor ports to find.
Different cabinet formats: 500 × 500 mm against 609.92 × 343.08 mm, so 144 tiles versus 169 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
Estimated truck space: 6.5 m for Planar CarbonLight CLI1.9-F against 7.3 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.

For other panels, or your own OEM tile, the comparison tool takes any panels, up to four at once, at your wall size. Add your own spec once in the calculator and it appears there alongside the catalogue.
